Ugh. Typical for an EV/Tesla fanboy site. Yes, the only things that matters to buyers are range, 0-60 times and price.

In other news, a 911 costs almost twice what a corvette costs! Worst car ever!

That's not a helpful review, but the issue with the Taycan's range is troubling. It will be interesting to see whether it's an artifact of how Porsche decided to measure range, or whether it represents a real deficiency. I'm leaning toward it being both, though it's probably more the former than the latter.

Porsche does tend to be conservative with how they measure performance so I’d lean that way as well.
